“…Singh et al 14 Our results showed that the subjects with class III malocclusion had larger mandibles (B-y distance) and prominent soft tissue pogonion. In accordance with our results, several studies 1,13,16 showed that there was a tendency of more horizontal growth pattern in the mandibles of Class III subjects.…”

“…This is extremely important particularly for the Asian population because their noses have a wider width and flatter appearance than European Americans, [7][8][9] while the overall prevalence of severe skeletal Class III requiring orthognath- ic surgery is apparently high. 10 Thus, a concomitant alar base cinch suture and anterior nasal spine ostectomy are commonly used to prevent the widening of the nose during surgery. 3,11 However, there is limited information about the morphological changes in the nasal region after bimaxillary surgery in Asians with or without cinch sutures.…”

Objective: To quantify the changes in the nose after bimaxillary surgery to correct skeletal Class III malocclusion and to test the hypothesis that there is no change in the nasal width following bimaxillary surgical correction of skeletal Class III when a nasal cinch is properly used. Materials and Methods: Sixty-five adult Korean skeletal Class III patients who had received maxillary advancement/impaction and mandibular set-back surgery in conjunction with an alar base cinch suture were evaluated. The anthropometric variables of the nasal region were measured directly on the soft-tissue surface before and 6 months after surgery. Results: After surgery, the alar width and alar base width had increased significantly (P Ͻ .001), while the nasal tip projection decreased (P Ͻ .001). The nostril morphology also showed widening (P Ͻ .001). There was a trend for females with a narrow alar width presurgically to have a larger amount of nasal widening compared with those with a broader alar width (P Ͻ .05). Conclusion:There is a high probability of nasal and nostril widening after bimaxillary surgery for skeletal Class III malocclusion in Koreans despite the careful performance of alar cinch suture. Nevertheless, the authors believe that alar cinch suture was positive in limiting the nasal widening to the minimum and would consider routine application during bimaxillary surgery for skeletal Class III especially for female patients with a narrow nose who are susceptible to these changes.

“…A técnica de faciometria tem escasso número de publicações [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]33,34 e não encontrámos referência de indicadores de crescimento em crianças, o que constitui uma mais-valia da nossa investigação. O nível de reprodutibilidade em posição de autoequilíbrio obtido por Sollow e Tallgreen 33 registou uma margem de erro de 2,48 graus, que não difere muito do valor angular obtido por nós (2,65 graus).…”

Introduction:We introduce the concept of direct faciometrics with propaedeutic purpose, underlying the measurement of growth in infant face, with relevant advantages over other methods. Material and Methods:We observed 102 healthy Caucasian children of both gender, aged up to 14 years (included) who accessed the consultation of Pediatric Stomatology of Lisboa-Norte Hospital Centre, from May 1, 2011 and during one year. We evaluated the degree of facial growth and its characteristics, based on linear and angle measurements obtained from reference points located on facial surface. Systematic records in front and profile were performed; linear and angle measures were noted with respectively a digital caliper and a digital goniometer. We used the statistical method of applying correlation tables and ANOVA test of two factors. Results:We deliver results and constructed growth curves. Discussion: We observed a growth spurt of anteroposterior face until the age of 6, which continues attenuated until the aged of 9. From 9 to 12 years old there has been a new growth spurt, which becomes residual from this age on. There were no significant changes in age angle mean values or gender differences in facial growth. The inter-observer error was 0.62 mm for linear values and 2.65 degrees for angle values.Conclusions: This is a reliable method, without image or radiation, non-invasive, simple, inexpensive and reproducible. Recommended for use in Pediatric Dentistry and Pediatrics, constituting a semiological resource that allows an early diagnosis of facial growth abnormalities in children, and hence their timely interception and correction.

INTRODUÇÃOO termo faciometria foi introduzido na literatura mé-dica em 1996 por El-Mangoury, 1 integrado no método cefalométrico não radiográfico que propunha, para utilização na análise facial. Na faciometria é efectuada uma avaliação visual da face do doente e realizadas medições através de procedimentos directos, como os que propomos, quer através de medições realizadas em fotografias, por meios manuais ou computadorizados.1-7 A faciometria directa propedêutica é uma técnica de mensuração vectorial, linear e angular realizada na superfície da face do doente, a partir de pontos antropométricos pré-definidos, que permite obter dados semiológicos importantes sobre a quantidade e característi-cas do crescimento facial das crianças. Como o próprio nome indica, as medições são feitas directamente no doente, e permitem confirmar evidências semiológicas, tendo por esse facto objectivos predominantemente propedêuticos.A superfície do crânio e da face, nomeadamente o seu contorno, reflectem o padrão de crescimento.
